I’m curious how much of the traffic here is people with religious beliefs.
There’s no rule against it. I just want to understand better. I’m not interested in debating or criticizing anyone’s choice to visit the comm or practice religion.
My questions:
-
Do you practice or otherwise hold some sort of faith? What kind? Is there a comm for it?
-
What are your thoughts on this (c/Atheism) comm? Do you visit because threads appear on your front page, or do you subscribe/visit intentionally? Why do you click on the topics / what kinds of topics do you click on?
-
Do you comment when you read threads here, or are you more of a lurker?
-
Is there anything you would like to express to the members of this community?
Thank you in advance for any responses.
The initial question is always “Do you believe in god” But the answer to that question that I never see is "that depends on your definition of god. I believe that there is something behind all of this. I have no idea what it is but there has to be some meaning to it. That could be no different than the life existence of a squirrel for us humans. What I know is just nonsense and mythology are personal gods. Moses, Jesus, Mohammed…whatever. They may have been real historical people. They may have spread a message of hope and comfort. But they certainly were no more human than the rest of us.
For sure - for example deism and panpsychism are beliefs generally considered gnostic, but they don’t necessitate an interventionist sort of god that is commonly believed in.
